Comment on the New School Lunch Rules!

share:

According to new rules by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), schools can now be more flexible with the lunch options they serve. In 2010, President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which required schools to serve more grains, fruits and veggies. But the new changes aim to make student lunches more nutritious and appealing. Schools can now include more salty foods, low-fat chocolate milk — and can even toss out the whole grains.

And while the new rules are temporary and applicable for the 2018-2019 school year only, some health experts have already voiced disapproval. Therefore, the USDA is taking comments by the public before making a final decision.

the current food we have now is very horrible they took away salt and can’t have that much sugar plus we can’t have any cinnamon or icing on a cinnamon roll. We have fat free milk and had to switch to sweat potato fries that taste like rubber.
